What Kind of Yoga do we Teach? We prepare students to teach inteligent vinyasa mindfully sequenced with an empahsis on breath, meditation, poses and a philosophical theme, which serves as the intention of the class. We are not just teachers of poses, we are inspiration leaders. We are Happiness Ambassadors who together are committed to Teach Peace. One of the parts of this program we love so much are the daily Practice Teaching Sessions which are dedicated to yoga asana + technique as part of the Alchemy of Yoga: Tapas Class Plan. These sessions are designed to give you opportunities to hone your authentic voice, have some fun and receive feedback from your loving kula as you teach one another. These sessions will culminate in a final “Teach Out” session…

By Silvia Mordini When I hear someone say they lack confidence I encourage them to tell me what this really means. Take a moment and think about it, how do you define confidence? Confidence is defined as: Having healthy self-esteem to live life knowing we have a right to be happy. This comes as a result of both intention and action. We can strengthen our confidence through affirmation, positive self-talk and taking steps towards tangible results. 3 Confidence Boosters: Stop Waiting. If you place too many conditions on getting started it will result in paralysis and feeling disempowered. Begin before you are ready. Allow yourself to start where you are and go from there. You don’t need to be confident to gain confidence, simply begin. List your accomplishments.Recognize how far…

Did you wake up today loving your life? Are you doing things because you love to do them or because you feel like you have to do them? What percentage of the time would you say you live like that? Well, if you are spending more of your time doing stuff because you feel like you have to instead of wanting to,then you’ve discovered a simple formula for misery. “The purpose of life is a life with purpose.” -The Monk Who Sold his Ferrari. Then the first step is to ask yourself and write out the answer to “what are you passionate about?” What sparks enthusiasm so much so that you can feel it in your body, whether it’s a smile on your face or sitting up a little taller in your seat. This helps…

Not only do our thoughts affect us in tangible ways, but we also have the extraordinary capacity to affect those around us, and the environment we live in. We all know that the power of attitude can change our lives. After all, the way we think mirrors how we see our lives. Yoga teaches us that limiting our outlook is a root cause of suffering. The answer is to look inside. Yogicly this process of self-reflection is known as vichara.It starts by seeing the habits of our minds that keep us from living up to our potential. From there we can implement small changes in attitude. Here are some suggestions to gain a new perspective and change your attitude: Take a day off from the Internet.Lighten up…

What Makes a Real and Authentic Yoga Teacher? By: Silvia Mordini, featured on DoYouYoga.com A recent NY Post article calls out some of the worst case scenarios in how humans teach yoga. On the one hand, we could simply disregard the article for being snarky and provocative. But on the other hand, there was some truth there too. Too often, and more and more over the last twenty years, yoga teachers with great intentions are parroting misinformation about the practice to students. This mimicry stage might at first be necessary for initial growth, but soon after, individuation must take place whereby the teacher actually knows why they are saying the things they say. Here’s the Truth Not all yoga teachers are the same. Not all yoga schools are…

By Silvia Mordini, Featured on Yoganonymous.com About Crown Chakra: “In physics, a singularity is a point of infinite density and infinitesimal volume. Singularities exist at the center of black holes, which are regions of space that have a gravitational field so intense that no matter or radiation can escape. Likewise, the pull of your purpose combined with your core priorities is so intense, so massive; that nothing you do can escape its influence. Every thought you have, every decision you make, and every action you take is pulled by this force.” – Isaiah Hankel from Black Hole Focus The seventh chakra is depicted as a fully blooming, thousand-petaled lotus flower at the crown of your head. The roots of this lotus flower are connected to the Earth and its petals stem out from the…
